A single woman who moved back in with her dad aged 27 and has no interest in climbing the career ladder says she's on her "own timeline".<br /><br />Eve Bokor, 27, felt a societal pressure to go to university and start a career but found herself burned out and unsure of what she wanted from life aged 25. <br /><br />She took a leap and moved to Canada in June 2023 but decided it wasn’t for her and came back and moved back in with her dad, Frank, 52, a delivery driver. <br /><br />But since returning she had an “awakening” and is now taking a slower approach to life. <br /><br />Eve isn’t worried about getting into a relationship, buying a house, climbing the career ladder or having investments and likes where she is at. <br /><br />Eve, who works in admin, from Leeds, Yorkshire, said: “I don’t feel that bothered about these things anymore. <br /><br />“It was external pressures. <br /><br />“I don’t need those things to be happy. <br /><br />“I want a relationship and a house and they will happen at some point. <br /><br />“I'm on my own timeline. <br /><br />“I genuinely like myself. <br /><br />“I like where I'm at in my life.” <br /><br />Eve went to Manchester Metropolitan University and studied childhood studies before taking a job as a teaching assistant in the city when she graduated. <br /><br />She said: “I felt this pressure to do it. To go to university and do childhood studies. <br /><br />“Everyone said I was good at it. <br /><br />“I felt like that was the only thing I good enough for. <br /><br />“I took a job as a teaching assistant. I enjoyed it but I felt myself burnout. <br /><br />“I felt like there was a lot of pressure to become a teacher.” <br /><br />Eve left the profession in 2021 and took a job in admin while she worked out what she wanted to do. <br /><br />She said: “I felt this pressure to work out a career change. <br /><br />“There was a pressure – are you going to buy a house? Are you going to get a relationship? <br /><br />“I wanted time and freedom.” <br /><br />Eve decided to take a leap and move to Canada in June 2023. <br /><br />She said: “I decided I wanted to try and explore different things and experiment. <br /><br />“But I found it really difficult being away from home.” <br /><br />Eve decided the move wasn’t for her and ended coming back in July and moving in with her dad, Frank, step-mum Sally, 48, and her younger sister, 18, and half-brother, 12. <br /><br />She said: “I was feeling quite low. <br /><br />“I felt lost. I felt like a bit of a freeloader. <br /><br />“I went on a self-discovery journey. <br /><br />“I found small joy in the day-to-day little things – like going for coffee.” <br /><br />Eve realised she didn’t want to be pressured by what society says we should be doing at a certain age and accepted where she was at. <br /><br />She said: “I don’t worry about those things. <br /><br />“I don’t worry about my future. I find small joy <br /><br />“I'm unsure about what I want to do for the rest of my life but I enjoy my life day to day.” <br /><br />Eve is considering going into yoga, healing and spirituality but is working in admin in the meantime and doesn’t feel in a rush to start her career path. <br /><br />She said: “I don’t feel embarrassed about it. <br /><br />“I feel proud. <br /><br />“Be kind and compassionate to yourself.
